Chapter 109 The ruthless fire general
The commander of the two battalions of Dezhou, one of whom was wearing a vermilion-shaped golden helmet, and a broom-long red tassel was spread on the top. He was wearing a series of beast-swalking armor with a slinging face, a crimson robe of monsters embroidered with clouds and flying monsters, and a pair of jade cloud-slit brocade boots between the thorns. He rode a rouge horse, and used a braised bronze knife in his mouth.
Another commander wore a square iron hat and sprinkled black tassels on the top. He put on the bear's skin and built it with black oil armor along the edge. He wore a soap and silk embroidered collars and bald sleeves. He wore a pair of oblique stirrups and lined cloud heel boots, tied green nails and beat the lion's belt. He rode a deep black horse and used a black gun.
The general in red armor and crimson robe was still in a state of spirit, while the general in soap robe and black armor looked calm, staring straight ahead and said, "Your temperament... you should not be careless when you meet a thief on a narrow road."
The general in the red armor and crimson robe smiled and said with a smile: "Brother, this time I suddenly encountered an enemy, but I never asked you to judge the terrain and show your ability. I will deal with this bandit! Just keep the siege!"
The general in the soap robe and black armor smiled slightly and stopped talking. The general in the red armor and crimson robe waved the copper knife in his hand and shouted: "My sons! Prepare the utensils, and let the thieves know how difficult it is to deal with our Texas imperial guards!!"...
Zhang Di sent the two leaders of Fang Shun and Suji to intercept the Dezhou official army. They combined 2,000 troops and horses. They were rushing to meet the commander of the two battalions of Dezhou, leading their troops here. The training in the Song Dynasty's military states was abandoned and their combat power was low. For example, the imperial guards of Rong Shou Enzhou who they had repelled before were defeated as soon as they fought. When they saw these two battalions of troops, Fang Shun and Suji didn't take it seriously. Seeing that the official army was carrying countless vans, they just thought they were just troops transporting food. The bandits became even more unscrupulous and rushed forward with a roar.
The formation of the official army was not loosened. Under the command of the red armored and crimson generals, they pushed the vans covered with oil cloth into the front of the formation. Some of the military soldiers in the back took off the tightly sealed pots, while others picked up bows and arrows, waiting for the thieves to attack.
Just dozens of vans want to block our brother's offensive? Fang Shun and Suji sneered in his heart, and did not want to why they rushed to the range of the Texas official army's bow and arrows, but the other party had not shot arrows to block our side, but instead rushed very fiercely.
Waiting for Fang Shun, when Suji's thieves were not far from the Dezhou official army, the generals in red armor and crimson robe shouted, and the officials in the front row pulled off the oil cloth from the van, and saw a thick and black copper cabinet with large tails and thin rolls on it, which appeared in front of the thieves.
Junjian in the front row used red-burning cones to ignite the medicine on the cabinet. After preheating, Junjian pulled the pump behind the cabinet hard. The fierce ignition oil hidden in the cabinet was sprayed out. When it was ignited when it was heated, dozens of fire dragons were shot out from the nozzle, and the thieves who rushed to the front were swallowed in the raging fire!
In an instant, heart-wrenching howls came one after another. Fang Shun and Suji, the two thieves, watched their subordinates scream in the flames, struggled, and finally fell to the ground and were burned into a ball of black charcoal. Have they ever seen such a scene? Have they ever seen the terrifying power of the fierce oil cabinet that is commonly used in the battles between the two armies in the city and the water war and fire attacks?
When Fang Shun and Su Ji were stunned, the general in the red armor and crimson robe gave another order. Two hundred fire soldiers under their command took off the fire phosphorus gourds on their backs, and still used cone medicine to draw the pump at the bottom of the hoist. Another group of fierce flames squirted out. The thieves who rushed to the front could not hold back and rushed into the sea of fire. The thieves in the back row were hit by people, and many of them were pushed into the fire by the uncontrollable thieves...
The sky was filled with fire, and the sky was swept across the battlefield suddenly. Don’t talk about close combat. Once the thieves approached, they were all swept by flames. The heavy ones were burned with crispy outside and tender inside, while the mild ones were burned to burn all the beards. Fang Shun, Suji and the two thieves looked at the red-armored and crimson-robed generals, as if they saw the fire god Zhu Rong coming to the world, and were angry and would burn all the people in the world with the brilliance of the eight wildernesses.
"Retreat!" It was really collapsed and ran away with his head in his arms. Even if Fang Shun, Suji didn't say that, the thieves under their command would rather be chopped a few times than burn them to death. The thieves who were still arrogant just now cried and ran away, crying for their parents, only regretting that they didn't grow a few legs.
The general in the red armor and crimson robe stared at his teeth and said grimly: "How can the thieves just escape like this?" After saying that, he gestured again. Hundreds of powerful fire soldiers under his hands swung the hemp rope tied to the tiled pot he carried with him. Hundreds of tiled pots turned around like windmills and were thrown out desperately, drawing parabolas in the air, hitting the thieves ping-pong. The turbulent oil mixed with firewood and paste in the pot sprinkled with many thieves.
When the general in the soap robe and black armor saw him, he ordered his archer to light the oil cloth wrapped in the arrow cluster and draw the bow to the sky. "Swish swish swish swish swish swish swish!" Two or three hundred rockets were shot out, and the falling rockets spread with ignition oil, causing a burst of fire. In an instant, the flames soared into the air, and the smoke rolled in, making the fleeing thieves and generals even scared and fled in panic, but more thieves died trampling on themselves.
Several regiments of fierce fire attacked, two thousand bandits were burned to death, trampled to death, and countless fleeing people scattered. Fang Shun and Suji only fled with three or four hundred remaining soldiers, but they had not escaped much, but they were hit by a soldier.
Fang Shun and Suji saw that the banner that was "the soldiers and horses of the left-behind officials of Daming Prefecture were Xiao Tang", and they couldn't help but scream. When Xiao Tang saw Fang Shun, Suji and the bandits in southern Hebei were all burned like smoked ghosts, like frightened birds without any intention of fighting. He also admired him: Prime Minister, the imperial guards of the two states of Ci were easily defeated by the thieves, but the imperial guards of the two battalions of Dezhou were so fierce that they killed the thieves like a stray dog?
Xiao Tang was trying to see the thieves in the southern Ji army, but how could he hold back? He clamped his legs and rushed out like a whirlwind in his crotch, heading straight for Fang Shun, Su Ji and the other two. Fang Shun wanted to use words to stabilize Xiao Tang and other officials for a moment, but he didn't know that the generals rushing out from the opposite side were so impatient, he didn't even say anything, but just came to kill himself?
In the panic, he set up a gun to block it. The gold dipped in his hand was smashed in a fierce manner. After five or seven rounds, Fang Shun, who was not interested in fighting, just shouted: "Don't..." and was chopped into his chest by axe, stumbled and fell off his horse, and died immediately.
Suo swung his axe and was looking for another thief to fight. When he saw that Suji had already rolled off his horse, he knelt down with the bandits and shouted: "The Heavenly Army is above! We are willing to surrender!!!"
At this moment, the generals in Dezhou with red armor and red robe and the generals in soap robe and black robe were already chasing the thief. When the generals in Dezhou saw Xiao Tang's banner, they sang and said, "You are Xiao Renxia of Daming Palace? But are you here to pick me up? Hahaha! It's a pity that Xiao Renxia is one step late, and most of the thieves have been destroyed by me! I am the commander of the Dezhou Imperial Guard Camp, Wei Dingguo!"
The generals with the soap robe and black armor were much more stable than those of Wei Dingguo. He turned over and dismounted and said to Xiao Tang, "The last general of the commander of the Dezhou Imperial Army Camp, Shan Tinggui, had seen Xiao Aijian, the remaining minister of Daming Prefecture." (The Water Margin states that Wei Dingguo was the general of Lingzhou, the north of the He 1, and the Song Dynasty military prefecture had Ling County under the jurisdiction of Lingzhou, so the Dezhou was the subject of Dezhou.)
It turned out that they were familiar with fire attack methods and used special fire weapons to capture people. They were known as "Shen Fire General" Wei Dingguo, and Shan Tinggui, who was good at using water to immerse troops in the army and nicknamed "Sacred Water General"... At this time, these two people had not yet achieved the position of the state regiment training envoy, but were only battalion commanders of one battalion.
Xiao Tang greeted Wei Dingguo, Shan Tinggui replied: "I have long admired the names of the two generals, the Divine Fire General, and the Holy Water General! When I saw it today, I was really amazing! I even gave away all the thieves who came to intercept them!"
Wei Dingguo laughed and said, "What are you talking about mere gangsters? I just thought I didn't kill the thief! Then two thousand people came, what can I do to me?"
Shan Tinggui replied: "Xiao Aijian has been praised. We are grateful to the court, and we are responsible for the national salary and killing the thieves and defending the territory."
When Xiao Tang and Wei Dingguo and Shan Tinggui were greeting each other, they looked at the tragic situation of the two generals of water and fire killing the enemy just now. In this battle, Wei Dingguo and Shan Tinggui were definitely winning, leading 500 fire soldiers and 500 Xuan Armored soldiers to defeat two thousand bandits with nearly zero casualties.
But what he saw was a series of carbon black charred corpses that were twisted and burnt, and the smell of roasted meat was spread into his nose. Xiao Tang suddenly felt that his five internal organs were dispersed and he was about to vomit. He forced himself to resist the urge to vomit and stabilize his mind. After all, the battlefield is so cruel. If he didn't say that his hardened heart was like a rock, how could he face the future battle of killing?
Thinking of this, Xiao Tang suddenly realized that the fights he had experienced before were all small-scale battles. Assuming that he had become an opponent of Wei Dingguo and Shan Tinggui on the battlefield, he might not be the opponent of these two generals who were good at fire attack and water flooding.
Wei Dingguo and Shan Tinggui ranked among the minor generals in Liangshan. Although the two made little achievements after being recruited, when it comes to leading troops to fight, these two experts were definitely covered up among the 100, eight generals.
Especially the divine fire general Wei Dingguo, he first defeated Guan Sheng with Shan Tinggui, captured the two generals Xuan Zan and Hao Siwen alive. Later, Shan Tinggui surrendered to Liangshan. Wei Dingguo lacked the help of the Holy Water General, and only led five hundred fire soldiers to burn Guan Sheng, the Liangshan horse army, and the five tiger generals, who retreated for more than 40 miles. If it weren't for Li Kui's leadership and Bao Xu led Kushushan men to seize the prefecture, Wei Dingguo would not have retreated to Zhiling County to defend the death of the country. Shan Tinggui and Guan Sheng were convinced one after another, and he didn't know how much trouble this divine fire general could bring to Liangshan.
In the ranking of the five tigers, eight oxen 16 small bullocks, personal bravery and reputation have a great influence. However, in the case of Wei Dingguo and Shan Tinggui, two small bullocks can gain the upper hand in the confrontation with one tiger and two small bullocks. If it can be used well, the role of the divine fire general and the holy water general on the battlefield is definitely not limited to the level of deputy generals.
Thinking of this, Xiao Tang admired Wei Dingguo, and Shan Tinggui often asked him about his military affairs. Wei Dingguo and Shan Tinggui had heard of Xiao Tang's name for a long time, and seeing that he was so humble and courteous to him, they also became more in love with Xiao Tang. They joined forces with Xiao Tang and returned to Wei County, Daming Prefecture, and talked endlessly on the way to the camp of the army in Guantao area.
During his conversation, Xiao Tang also learned that although Shan Tinggui was called the Holy Water General, he mostly only assisted Wei Dingguo in fighting. Wei Dingguo's character was as arrogant and reckless as a fire, while Shan Tinggui was introverted and restrained. The two of them moved and remained silent, which was exactly the same.
Furthermore, Shan Tinggui's ability to flood the enemy's water also depends on many conditions such as terrain and water conditions. The "Wu Jing Zongyao" has recorded many fire attack methods such as flying torches, swallowtail torches, whip arrows, iron fire beds, air fire iron boxes, fireballs, and hot oil cabinets. This can improve the fire attack state, which is fond of fire attack, and it is very enjoyable to use it. Although water and fire are ruthless, his holy water general cannot lead 500 soldiers to take the water gun to snatch the enemy......
